Sr. Editor for The Daily Beast, Anthony L. Fisher comes talks with Mary Angela Perna about his piece, “Why Do These Racists Keep Getting Hired by Us?' —> https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-right-needs-to-ask-why-do-these-racists-keep-getting-hired-by-us —Anthony has a FAB Substack: https://anthonylfisher.substack.com/
How long is seven hours? It's not long if you're binging our show, but that's a long time to not have records of telephone calls made by former President Trump on January 6, 2021. There's a lot of news here, so here's the TL;DR: A federal judge has ruled that Trump “more likely than not” committed felonies in his attempts to overturn the election, and the DOJ has expanded its investigation into the Capitol riots, hiring 131 more attorneys to work the case. And then, there's those texts between Ginni Thomas (the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas) and Mark Meadows, the former White House Chief of Staff, urging Meadows to take steps to overturn the election … as well as her participation in the riots. So, should Justice Thomas recuse himself from cases about the insurrection? Does that set a dangerous precedent for future justices, or is staying on the bench a blatant conflict of interest?Guest host Kimberly Atkins Stohr of the Boston Globe discusses with panelists Sarah Isgur, staff writer and podcast host for the Dispatch, on the right; David Dayen, executive editor at the American Prospect, on the left; and our special guest Anthony L. Fisher, senior opinion editor at the Daily Beast.Then: New budget just dropped. President Biden released his roadmap for 2023 government spending, and it's got a hefty price tag of $5.8 trillion. This, of course, will be reshaped before it gets past Congress in September. But does it do enough to tackle COVID and rampant inflation? And is Biden squirreling away his executive power in favor of gridlocks in the legislature? Plus: The Russian invasion of Ukraine is still unfolding, with no end in sight as peace talks drag on. That means more pain at the pump for Americans, which Biden's trying to address by releasing roughly 180 million barrels of oil from U.S. reserves in the next few months. Is this a sign that America needs to go electric? And if so, can Congress agree on how to do it?Finally, our panelists rant from across the political spectrum about Republican office gossip, racist college admissions tests, and the slap heard around the world.Left, Right and Center airs on Heartland Newsfeed Radio Network Sundays at 6 AM Eastern/3 AM Pacific (5 AM local time).BROADCAST SCHEDULE:Sunday (live): 6 AM Eastern/3 AM Pacific (5 AM local time)Revised live broadcast from April 3, 2022, on the Heartland Newsfeed Radio Network, online at heartlandnewsfeed.com, Spreaker, the Heartland Newsfeed Alexa radio skill, and other platforms.

A sea change is sweeping the White House. A new Secretary of State. A new CIA chief. And a new National Security Advisor, John Bolton. Will he destroy the world? "Yeah, probably." That's the hunch of the decidedly un-hysterical, deeply informed Anthony L. Fisher. Anthony is an independent, libertarian-minded columnist and contributing writer for The Week and The Daily Beast. His film, Sidewalk Traffic, is available on all major streaming services. He's a former producer at the Fox Business Network, where he met Bolton. And he never waves his arms hysterically about The Grave Threat Trump Poses To The World... until now. Find out why. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
While there is some Yankees news, such as the likelihood of Jacoby Ellsbury starting the season on the disabled list because an oblique injury and the flu have kept him from getting enough at-bats in Florida, and Luis Severino getting the ball in Toronto next Thursday, this show is about more. We're ready to really get going on the Locked On Yankees website, where one of the guests on this episode, Anthony L. Fisher, has one of the first pieces, along with stuff to read from Britt Huber and Miranda Kalish.

Last time writer and filmmaker* Anthony L. Fisher joined the show, he exposed the mysterious death of a 20-year-old confidential informant. His Reason TV documentary and article were later picked up by 60 Minutes, and led many to rethink the role of confidential informants in the criminal justice system. Anthony also covered the Occupy Wall Street protests back in 2011, when it was unclear what the movement stood for or where it was heading. In a column for the Daily Beast, Anthony brings his characteristic clarity and nuance to bear on the anti-fascist protesters – aka "Antifa" – that have made recent headlines. Between Nazi white supremacists and anti-fascists (aka “Antifa”), Anthony is adamant that the former possess the more odious ideology, and are responsible for far more victims than the latter. However, this does not justify the acceptance of indiscriminate violence displayed by Antifa at recent protests and rallies. Anthony notes that violent, anarchic tactics have historically bolstered far-right elements. This suggests non-violent resistance is still the best option against a rising tide of xenophobia in the United States and elsewhere. This Sunday, Anthony will take your calls on the disturbing glorification of violence by some intellectuals, and the watering down of terms like “fascist” to include individuals who merely disagree with left-wing orthodoxy. When anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders is labelled a fascist, the result is a poisoned public discourse. Can we recover civil dialogue in the midst of such intellectual laziness? Bob and Anthony also break down the differences between alt-right, neoreactionary, and outright fascist/white supremacist groups.*See the trailer below for Anthony's debut feature film, *Sidewalk Traffic,* which he wrote and directed. The film is available for rent/purchase on iTunes, Amazon, and most VOD outlets.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump certainly put on a show last night, but who won the first US Presidential debate? What were the key jabs, and were any knockout punches thrown? More importantly where do the candidates go from here. Mike Van Soelen from Navigator Ltd., and Anthony L. Fisher
Andrew Sadek was 20 years old when he was caught dealing small amounts of marijuana on his college campus in North Dakota. He was told by law enforcement that he could possibly face up to 40 years in prison, or accept a deal to aid campus drug busts for a time as a confidential informant. Soon after signing on, but before completing the terms of the deal, Andrew went missing; a few days later his body was found, with a gunshot wound to the head, wearing a backpack full of rocks. The law enforcement agency which had assigned Sadek his task not only failed to inform Sadek's parents of his role as a confidential informant when he went missing, they also dragged their feet in investigating the death (still a mystery). Anthony Fisher, an Associate Editor at Reason Magazine, picked up the story, which has since been covered by 60 Minutes – shining a light on a very shady corner of the U.S. Justice System. Bob welcomes Anthony back on the show this Sunday to discuss the lack of accountability surrounding the use of confidential informants.
